Bile acids can be categorized into primary bile acids，which are synthesized directly in liver cells，and secondary bile acids，which are formed after decomposition by intestinal bacteria. The intestinal flora is diverse and widely used，which is closely related to various functions and diseases in the human body. As one of the main metabolites of intestinal flora，bile acids have a close bidirectional regulation between them.Current research has shown a clear correlation between fecal bile acid levels and changes in gastrointestinal function.This paper will review the relationship between fecal bile acid levels and different defecation frequency in children from the perspective of changes in intestinal bile acids under diarrhea and constipation symptoms，and will provide a research direction for further exploration of the effects of different metabolites based on the composition of bile acids on defecation frequency.

Objective:To conduct a position evaluation of functional departments directors by means of Hay guide-chart profile (Hay) and international position evaluation (IPE) for heads of public hospital departments, and a comparative analysis of the results, for reference in reforming the performance-related pay system of the functional departments.Methods:From July to August of 2021, positions of ten functional department directors of a public tertiary general hospital were selected, and expert groups within and out of the hospital were invited for a position evaluation using both Hay and IPE. Cronbach α and intraclass correlation coefficient were used in the reliability and consistency evaluation. Technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) was conducted to compare the differences between results of both methods, with the position value ranked by quartiles. Results:22 position evaluation forms were issued and 20 were recovered (12 for in-hospital experts and 8 for extramural experts). In Hay evaluation, the scores of medical affairs department and hospital head office were higher, averaging 757.30 and 727.21 respectively, and those of logistics management department were the lowest, being 279.94. In-hospital experts scored lower than those extramural experts on the posts of directors of scientific research management department, Party committee office and medical insurance department, while the scores of the directors of the hospital head office were higher than those extramural experts. In IPE evaluation, the position values of hospital head office and medical affairs department were the highest, averaging 680.25 and 621.00 respectively, and the score of the logistics management department was the lowest, being 365.05. In-hospital experts scored lower than those extramural experts on the posts of directors of Party committee office, scientific research management department and logistics management department, while the scores of the directors of the hospital head office were higher than those of extramural experts. The Cronbach α coefficients of position value scoring of functional department heads evaluated by two evaluation methods were 0.943 (Hay) and 0.800 (IPE) respectively. The hospital head office and medical affairs department ranked the first quartile, the Party committee office and nursing department ranked the second, while the medical insurance department and logistics department ranked the third and fourth respectively. In addition, the ranking differences of the information technology department, human resource department, financial department and scientific research management department were within one quartile. Conclusions:The position evaluation results of Hay and IPE are consistent, but the former is more sensitive. Ranking of position values by quartiles via TOPSIS can support the reform of performance-related pay system of functional departments of public hospitals.

Chinese mitten crab (Eriocheir sinensis) is an important aquaculture species in Crustacea. Functional analysis, although essential, has been hindered due to the lack of sufficient genomic or transcriptomic resources. In this study, transcriptome sequencing was conducted on 59 samples rep-resenting diverse developmental stages (fertilized eggs, zoea, megalopa, three sub-stages of larvae, juvenile crabs, and adult crabs) and different tissues (eyestalk, hepatopancreas, and muscle from juvenile crabs, and eyestalk, hepatopancreas, muscle, heart, stomach, gill, thoracic ganglia, intes-tine, ovary, and testis from adult crabs) of E. sinensis. A comprehensive reference transcriptome was assembled, including 19,023 protein-coding genes. Hierarchical clustering based on 128 differ-entially expressed cuticle-related genes revealed two distinct expression patterns during the early lar-val developmental stages, demonstrating the distinct roles of these genes in 'crab-like"cuticle formation during metamorphosis and cuticle calcification after molting. Phylogenetic analysis of 1406 one-to-one orthologous gene families identified from seven arthropod species andCaenorhabditis elegans strongly supported the hypothesis that Malacostraca and Branchiopoda do not form a monophyletic group. Furthermore, Branchiopoda is more phylogenetically closely related to Hexapoda, and the clade of Hexapoda and Branchiopoda and the clade of Malacostraca belong to the Pancrustacea. This study offers a high-quality transcriptome resource for E. sinensis and demonstrates the evolutionary relationships of major arthropod groups. The differentially expressed genes identified in this study facilitate further investigation of the cuticle-related gene expression networks which are likely associated with'crab-like"cuticle formation during metamor-phosis and cuticle calcification after molting.

Objective: To identify potential relationship between single uncoding RNA-25-3p (miR-25-3p) expression level and the sertraline efficacy in patients with panic disorder. Methods: Sixty cases of patients with panic disorder(case group) and sixty healthy-controls(control group) were collected with demographic data and peripheral venous blood before and after treatment.All the patients were evaluated using the 14-item Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAMA) and Panic Disorder Severity Scale (PDSS) at baseline, and then received sertraline treatment for 6 weeks.After six-week treatment, each patient was evaluated again with HAMA and PDSS.RT-PCR was used to detect the level of miR-25-3p expression. Results: There was no significant difference in the miR-25-3p levels between control group (1.27±0.32) and case group (1.73±1.09) before treatment(t=1.53, P=0.14), but the levels in case group were much higher than that in control group after the treatment (5.72±4.13 vs 1.73±1.09, t=-2.15, P=0.04). Besides, the changes of the miR-25-3p levels were positively related with both the changes of PDSS3 and PDSS7 items before and after the treatment (r=0.60, P=0.02 for PDSS3 and r=0.61, P=0.02 for PDSS7). Conclusions miR-25-3p is associated with the drug efficacy and the outcome of some clinical symptoms of panic disorder.These findings might provide some evidence for the individualized treatment of patients with panic disorder according to regulation of gene expression in the future.

OBJECTIVE:To study the effects of tilianin(TIL)on brain tissue in rats with cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury. METHODS:Totally 120 male SD rats were randomly divided into sham operation group(0.9% sodium chloride solution),model group(0.9% sodium chloride solution),nimodipine group(32 mg/kg)and TIL low-dose and medium-dose,high-dose groups(4, 8,16 mg/kg),with 20 rats in each group. The rats were given relevant medicine intragastrically,once a day,for consecutive 7 d. 15 min after last medication,cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury model was established by reforming suture-occluded method. The neurological deficit score in rats were evaluated, and percentage of cerebral infarction volume of rats was determined. Histopathological changes of brain tissue were observed by HE staining. The activities of SOD,CAT and LDH,MDA content in cerebral tissue of rats were determined. The expression of calcitonin gene-related peptide(CGRP)and peripheral vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2) protein were determined by Western blot assay. RESULTS:Compared with sham operation group,neurological deficit score and percentage of cerebral infarction volume of model group were increased significantly(P＜0.01);the nerve cells in brain tissue were significantly reduced and the interstitial edema was obvious. SOD and CAT activities were decreased significantly,LDH activity was increased significantly,MDA content was decreased significantly,protein expression of CGRP and VEGFR2were increased significantly(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01). Compared with model group,neurological deficit score of nimodipine group,TIL medium-dose and high-dose groups were decreased significantly;percentage of cerebral infarction volume was decreased significantly (P＜0.05 or P＜0.01);above pathological conditions of cerebral tissue in rats were relieved significantly;SOD and CAT activities were strengthened significantly,MDA content and LDH activities were decreased significantly,protein expression of CGRP and VEGFR2were increased significantly (P＜0.05 or P＜0.01). CONCLUSIONS: TIL has certain protective effects on cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury model rats,and its mechanism may be related to the up-regulation of CGRP and VEGFR2expression.
